[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: OC Storytelling: A canon character tells a story about an original character. Any setting, any rating. Is the original character known to the canon character personally or is it a traditional story? If the two characters know each other, what is their relationship to each other? by hhimring.

Summary: Tar-Míriel takes on a new handmaiden, and tells her part in the history of Númenor.

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Family Trees: any character, gen
dreamflower02
Choose a character from one of the Hobbit family trees, one who has no other information, and create a character profile of him or her, based only on the name, the family and the date of birth.
Format: Ficlet
Genre: Family
Rating:
Warnings: I have no idea what I’m doing. Some of my ideas might venture into crazy.
Characters: Balbo Baggins...and others
Pairings: Balbo Baggins/Berylla Boffin, Ponto Baggins/OC, others
Creators' Notes (optional): Wow, I *hope* I’m doing this right, lol. I haven’t tried a ‘character profile’ before, really, except one time when I went on a mini-rant about Polo Baggins, lol. Therefore, I kind of strayed from the expected format…
Summary: So, who was the progenitor of the Baggins Family, anyhow…? A certain hobbit lass is dedicated to finding out. She does tend to get off topic, though...

"The Rivers Of My Palms" by Amy Fortuna

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Noldorin Beleriand: work inspired by Other Lives And Dimensions And Finally A Love Poem by Bob Hicok.
Format: Short Story - 2100 words.
Genre: Romance, Slash
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros
Creators' Notes (optional): I was expecting to write something much sadder based on that poem, but somehow it wasn't happening. All the stuff about palmistry is basically made up out of whole cloth, wild speculation on what Elvish palmistry might be like, and the tiniest bit of Googling.
Summary: In Valinor, young Fingon and Maedhros visit a palm-reader and have their somewhat ambiguous fortunes told.
